It was, but only in the North West. All the other regions showed the Rangers game. Why, I'm not sure as they didn't even win a game in there group, at least we managed one!

Started off as first choice with Nelson and Todd when he joined so got plenty of games, and as the club moved on signing Samba and Ooijer etc he just fell down the pecking order. Don't think he played at all during his final two years here, thats where he had the loan spells you mentioned.

Went to the 3 home games, really enjoyed the Rosenborg game even if it was a dead rubber.

We're charging them £30 for the return game, or is that ok?

Luton tickets on sale today without the x amount of away game restrictions. It will probably sell out but can't see it being as popular as last season, especially as there is now a train strike on this date. I imagine Burnley will be around 2k, think it will be a few hundred less due to segregation as looking at there blackpool highlights the fans seemed really close together! Probably ST, 1875, and maybe 2/3 aways for that one considering we have had Blackpool and Wigan fairly early.

Think JDT has already said that Brittain won't be back until after the international break. They were hopeful on Wharton though, maybe move Carter out to right back and bring Wharton in at centre half?

Like every other game this season really.

Only when we score first.

Save for the first 45 seconds where Dack has his shot saved, we were second best for the next 94 minutes for me. They completely ran rings around us and 3-2 flattered us. It was clear in the first 10 minutes that our shape wasn't working, why we didn't even bother to rectify it at half time I don't know. Also the whole mentality of the team is so, so bad. If this side goes a goal behind you might aswell go home because they just aren't getting back into it. Would love to see our stats at getting points from losing positions recently, it can't be many. Also, 5 injury time equalisers/winners in the last 5 years tells you everything you need to know. There are still a lot of bad habits from the previous regime that need stamping out, which will take time. I like JDT and want him to succeed as we all do, but 4 defeats in 5 and the manner of those 4 defeats is really concerning. Doesn't take much to tumble down the league at this level.

Lose this pretty comfortably 2-0 I think

Same to be honest. Even though the option was there for the first two games we still got the coach from Ewood. The 2000 game was especially hyped up which I think put a good few off.

No as stated above the bubble started in 09-10. For the games in 2000/2001 and the cup games in 04/05 it was strongly advised to travel by coach but you didn't have to. The only restriction in 2000 was that tickets only went on sale to ST holders with non being released for general sale, which meant we were around 500/600 short of selling out.

We're due a draw, and Bristol are very bit as good as we are. 1-1

3 weeks ago you would begrudgingly accept. Not now though, far too late in the day. I really don't think venkys will be losing any sleep over him going for nothing, they have proven that with the lads who have left for nothing this year.

Why on earth would anyone want to sell Diaz at this hour. Even bids of £30m should be instantly rejected at this time.

I think we're done now. Cant see Dembele at all.

At least with all the fun we have had with this one today, we can definitely write it off now. Cheers Merce!

Wouldn't get too pleased yet, what JDT wants and what he will end up will probably be completely different. Really don't see another 3 joining this late.

Remember going to the away game at Highbury that season, which it think was just before Christmas off the top of my head. 1-0 down at half time to come out and completely play that same side off the park in the second half to win 3-1. Genuinely thought we would be title contenders again that season after that.

I would have thought so.

Haha come off it.

99% of the time footballers will always take the money, at any level.

I think it will just be one more now rather than 2.

Not sure why folk still think Styles and Bowler are coming. No chance.

Blackpool 2 Rovers 0 It's going to get worse before better, we haven't looked like scoring in the last 3 and I can see it continuing here.
